According to the Associated Press, the patrols will commence during Thursday’s game against the Raiders. Last year’s home games reportedly generated complaints regarding “fan-on-fan violence and harassment in and out of the stadium.”

Thursday’s effort will provide a dry run for the regular-season home opener against the other team from the Bay Area, which will be played on NBC’s Sunday Night Football.

Speaking of the 49ers, police in San Francisco have in recent years used undercover officers dressed as fans of the visiting team to monitor misbehavior directed at paying customers who choose not to root for the home team.

Seachickens crashing back down to earth this year. Wont sniff anything near 8-0 at home this season.

Not shocking. Look at this site and the Seahawks fans are so full of themselves their already hoisting the Lombardi. Can you imagine being at the stadium with these people? They need to buy a second ticket for their oversized heads.

This article doesn’t tell the story, it’s more about visiting fan idiots. I have been a season ticket holder for 8 years and seem 6 or 7 fights/verbal altercations and every single one was started by a drunk opposing fan. Not saying all hawk fans are good peeps, I have seen many that are idiots, but at least we are doing something about it, at a niners game, you may get stabbed.

That’s why I don’t go to games. People can be real idiots. (unless you are from Jacksonville where they don’t have anyone show up) Much prefer to watch from the comfort of my recliner.

What’s up with Seahawks fans that someone can’t go to a game without a problem. If that’s an ad of the person in the 12th man poster, I’m not surprised. It looks like a vicious person before the game begins.

As a Ram fan who wears my colors into the freezing pacific northwest every year I personally love the Seahawk fans and the atmosphere they create. Everything I have seen was good natured ball breaking.

The only way to control fan abuse or misdeeds is dealing with it harshly. Fans can yell all the want but once it becomes physical then there is such a word as assault. Seattle is probably no worse than other stadiums. I love passionate fans who care about their team even if they are yelling abusive language at me. You paid the ticket so enjoy the abuse. But when beer is thrown or someone starts pushing or shoving then the local police are needed. The perpertrators should be let out, arrested and fined. Stadiums should have security cameras to keep an eye out on such nonsense.

yeah northstarnic cause when the 9ers(vaginers) play oakland people get shot or stabbed…

As a season ticket holder for 4 years, (and Yes I went to last nights game with wife and children, 9 and 5) I personally have never seen a fight at the stadium. I have seen some folks using foul language, but they typically knock it off when you point out that kids are present.

The Raider fans that were at the game did a bit of talking, hawk fans did a bit of talking, but it was all in good fun.
